I often lose myself in dreamland here while explosive special effects and dialogue flicker in my subconscious mind. As in, the person behind me could fall asleep and snore really loudly and I wouldn't even blame them. Because I'd fall asleep here too. I've seen two movies at this theatre, Percy Jackson and Sherlock Holmes. In both of these movies, my companions were fast asleep, torn between following the events of the plot and wanting to find out how far the reclining seats could tilt back. We have nothing against Sherlock Holmes or Percy Jackson. (Okay, maybe Percy Jackson.) Ultra 7 Cinema is just too comfy to resist. A year ago, I used to complain that our cinemas were becoming too expensive. Then I tried to watch a movie in the U.S. where tickets cost $12 for general admission--and torrenting is illegal--and it came with hard upright seats and no popcorn or drinks. Ain't nobody got time for that! At Ultra 7 Cinema, I can enjoy seats that lean all the way back until I'm completely horizontal, Dolby Digital Surround-EX, and refillable drinks and popcorn. All for around P400. Not bad. Leaves me feeling more pampered than a kitten.

We've only been to screens 5 and 6 at the Eastwood Mall location. Price of admission comes with…read morepopcorn and a small bottle of water. Nothing special with the seats or the theatre itself. We found it a bit confusing that the theatre is divided into two locations. Screens 1 to 4 are at City Walk and screens 5-7 are at Eastwood Mall on level 4.

They have 7 cinemas (4 in the old mall and 3 in the new one), and they have one of the comfiest seats in the metro (semi-reclining chair, pull up arm rests for couples ;) ) Downside to this is that it can be more expensive than other cinemas nearby, and Eastwood is not exactly a breeze to go to because of the C5 traffic. :( Still, I pick this because it's not crowded. Plus points for me and my claustrophobic tendencies. It's great for movie dates, barkada night outs and family weekend get togethers. I highly recommend to try out their bowling / pool area too! :D

While I love watching movies, finding a good movie theatre can be difficult. There are some good…read moreones in Podium, in Greenhills and in Greenbelt but if you're in an SM Mall, you can expect crowds and older seats. That is until you discover Director's Club Cinema. This is more my style than the big cinemas. It feels like you're watching in a private theater with an audience limited to 25 or so people. I love that they use real La-Z Boy seats and not the fake recliners that are not at par with the real thing. The hefty price comes with unlimited popcorn and drinks. Although it's not as romantic as watching in a regular cinema with your loved one where you could be hip to hip (literally), I do love the space. The legroom is awesome - you could fit an entire row in front. I love that I could quietly watch my movie and feel like I'm just at home in a very expensive seat, getting popcorn served without having to get it myself. It really is a movie watching experience fit for a diva.

I haven't encountered a La-Z boy chair that I wasn't comfortable in. The idea of watching a movie while seated in one sounds very appealing, doesn't it? Well, try adding a butler service with unlimited popcorn and drinks at your disposal while you are it. The set up of these chairs are at good levels that the ones in front of you do not block your view of the screen regardless of how reclined you are. The only downfall perhaps would be how far apart you are from your seat mate because of a table placed in between seats; but then again, that could also be a huge perk to avoid talking to each other. The cinema's sound system is similar to that of IMAX so it's really good. I've been very happy with my movie experience in this cinema. The 450 pesos I pay is totally worth the movie with all of these freebies.

I'll be honest. I'm not a movie-goer :( I prefer to watch movies in my room. I also don't like…read morewatching movies when I'm with other people around me who are either very noisy or just can't stop talking/asking questions. BUT, there is the rare moment that I must watch a movie so that I get the FULL experience. Of all the cinemas, I choose to watch at Promenade Cinemas. Their cinemas are great because of the ambience, coziness, and not to mention the great sound system. If you can, try watching your movies at the Dolby Atmos cinema. Also, an essential element to the movie, the popcorn. Their popcorn is always buttery and evenly coated! LOVE IT! :) I always order a bucket for myself (hehe!). Best of all, cinema is always clean and their comfort rooms are spotless! Promenade Cinemas are excellent! You will get your money's worth + the best movie experience! :D

These days, watching movies isn't just about the film, it's about the moviegoing experience. The…read moreGreenhills cinema is proof that if you pay attention to what the people want, it pays dividends. I like watching in Promenade because the cinemas and bathrooms are always clean, the seats are comfortable and they've got more than enough snack options close by. If I'm craving something salty, I buy the popcorn or fries. If I'm looking for something sweet, I buy an almond pretzel from Auntie Anne's. Another thing to consider is that they've got a big Fully Booked branch on the same floor so I usually browse through their new titles before heading in to watch the movie. That or I get lost in the haven of household items that is Gourdo's or the obsessive compulsive's organizing paradise, Beabi. The cinema also prides itself in having the Dolby Atmos sound system in some of the theaters so that's something to keep in mind when you're looking for an immersive cinema experience. Also, Greenhills is always packed on weekends so if you plan on watching a film that's just opened, either come early to buy tickets or prepare to watch at a later time. That also means that parking in the area can be challenging. If you hate to wait, take advantage of the mall's valet service. If there is anything to complain about, it's that their air conditioning is almost always turned up high, so bring a sweater or someone to hug. Or both, I recommend having both.

You can also bring in foods from outside stores, while the snack bar items are reasonably priced. It was the first time I had a cheesy barbecue-flavored popcorn and it was pretty good. The cinema seems too small though, only having four theaters. I expect the cinema to be expanded in the future, given its strategic location in an area heavily frequented by students from three universities. For students of UP, Ateneo, and Miriam, it is a good place to watch movies, but not blockbusters, given how small the area is.
